Two great producers available through GoToPopupYYC: Pioneer Butchery makes small-batch artisan pâté in Calgary, and Rougié is a legendary French producer dating back to 1875. Pioneer's pâtés are made from Alberta-raised meats, gluten-free, with no fillers or artificial ingredients. Rougié's duck rillettes and foie gras are the gold standard for special occasions. Together they cover everything from a Tuesday night snack to a dinner party showpiece.
Pioneer Butchery Pâté
Pioneer makes two pâtés in Calgary. The pistachio apricot cherry is sweet and savoury — dried fruit and nuts folded into silky pork and chicken liver, best on crusty bread with a smear of Brassica mustard. The green peppercorn has a gentle heat that builds as you eat, balanced by the richness of the liver. Both are gluten-free and made from Alberta-raised meats in small batches.
Rougié Duck Products
Rougié has been producing foie gras and duck specialties in France since 1875 — longer than Canada has been a country. Their duck rillettes are slow-cooked, shredded duck confit packed in a jar: rich, spreadable, and ready to eat with cornichons and good bread. Their foie gras is the gold standard — silky, decadent, and worth every penny for a special occasion. Both are available in Calgary through GoToPopupYYC.
